Fort Lauderdale, FL (Marketwire) December 4, 2012 – Florida’s premier solar PV training school, US Solar Institute (USSI), has recently launched a new online platform to reflect its expanding role in the Sunshine State and beyond. By adding equipment and consulting services to its Department of Education-licensed PV diploma program, USSI hopes to provide a unified platform through which area homeowners and businesses can explore their solar options.

According to USSI President and Lead Instructor, Ray Johnson, “Although we primarily serve the greater Miami solar contractor markets, 75% of our students come from Jamaica, the Bahamas, and Latin America.” He adds, “The revamped site makes it easier for international students to learn about our program and make the necessary travel arrangements before applying their newly acquired skills back home.”

“Because most products are manufactured for the global market, there aren’t many PV systems that can withstand Florida’s hurricane winds, salty humidity, and near-equatorial sunshine,” comments Johnson. “The solutions we offer are specifically designed to deliver peak performance under the most adverse weather conditions.”

Complementing its solar equipment offerings is a range of professional solar construction services to help Florida and the Caribbean transition to the new solar economy. From construction and financing to professional engineering and project development, USSI believes these services will provide much-needed cohesion in a region whose solar industry remains largely fragmented.

US Solar Institute is a globally diversified solar energy corporation with headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and offices, dealers and partners around the world. USSI remains dedicated to comprehensive solar education and consulting services by providing global construction management, engineering, and financing solutions for virtually any sized project or system need.
